Psalm 82

Psalm 82New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly;he renders judgment among the “gods”:

2 “How long will you[a] defend the unjustand show partiality to the wicked?[b]3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.4 Rescue the weak and the needy;deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.They walk about in darkness;all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;you are all sons of the Most High.’7 But you will die like mere mortals;you will fall like every other ruler.”

Amos 2:12-3:8

Amos 2:12-3:8New International Version (NIV)

12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wineand commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

13 “Now then, I will crush youas a cart crushes when loaded with grain.14 The swift will not escape,the strong will not muster their strength,and the warrior will not save his life.15 The archer will not stand his ground,the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,and the horseman will not save his life.16 Even the bravest warriorswill flee naked on that day,”declares the Lord.

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel

3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:

2 “You only have I chosenof all the families of the earth;therefore I will punish youfor all your sins.”

3 Do two walk togetherunless they have agreed to do so?4 Does a lion roar in the thicketwhen it has no prey?Does it growl in its denwhen it has caught nothing?5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the groundwhen no bait is there?Does a trap spring up from the groundif it has not caught anything?6 When a trumpet sounds in a city,do not the people tremble?When disaster comes to a city,has not the Lord caused it?

7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothingwithout revealing his planto his servants the prophets.

8 The lion has roared—who will not fear?The Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy?

John 3:16-21

John 3:16-21New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
